I completed my honours degree in psychology at the University of Stirling in the UK, before going on to complete a PhD in Community Psychology, also at the University of Stirling. The title of the PhD was ‘Scottish secondary education from a critical community psychological perspective: power, control and exclusion'. The research was very practice led and centred on young people, in various educational settings learning about their experiences and beliefs of being excluded. Time was spent immersed in each educational setting participating and observing, and conducting focus groups and individual interviews with various staff. Rachael then went on to work as a Research Fellow at the University of Strathclyde, UK, on a project entitled "At Home Abroad: The Life Experiences of Children of Eastern European Migrant Workers in Scotland". The research project aimed to explore the experiences of children from Eastern European migrant families newly arrived in Scotland.
